It’s no wonder that fewer and fewer Americans are taking the media seriously.

While giving a speech to the Coast Guard Academy during their graduation ceremony, Trump echoed this sentiment, stating that the media have treated him “unfairly” and encouraging the graduates to not back down from their critics.

The DHS Secretary agrees the news networks have been to harsh on the president, but what his mic caught him saying to Trump just might trigger the media into a tizzy.

From IJ Review:

Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly’s private joke to President Donald Trump was caught on a hot mic during the president’s appearance at the United States Coast Guard commencement ceremony on Tuesday.

Moments after Trump was handed his ceremonial Coast Guard saber, Kelly leaned over and said to the president: “Use it on the press, sir.”

Could the Clinton News Network be any more pathetic? Their ridiculous attempts to constantly slander the president is what caused Trump to be elected in the first place.

People are sick of the media manipulating information, and CNN’s repeated lies only prove the president right. The media are being unfair. They are being harsh. But because President Trump is an American loving Republican, the left’s tactics don’t matter.

Journalist integrity will always take a back seat to promoting a liberal agenda. If Trump did wind up using a sword against the media, I doubt many Americans would mind.
